The three possible solutions that Ves had dropped onto the lap of Dread Captain Volkert Argile were so impactful that the meeting ended shortly afterwards.
It couldn't be helped. Not only did Ves present three very different approaches to resolve the same problem that had plagued the crew of the dreadnought, but he also claimed he could produce results that far exceeded what the fleeters expected from the eccentric mech designer!
Perhaps they should have known better. Ves had a well-known track record for consistently exceeding people's expectations.
The problem right now was that Ves had given the captain of the Dominion of Man a choice rather than a solution.
There was so much riding over this affair that not even the designated commander of this powerful dreadnought dared to make a choice!
